Yes. Depending on your location, midwest, west coast, etc.. the pay varies. Most locations have a brakemans extra board, switchmans extra board, and conductors extra board. Whether you work or not when on these boards, just the fact of being on call, constitutes pay for one working week. Sometimes he will work maybe one or two days per week. That totally pay usually does not equal what is guaranteed...but will still get his guarantee pay. Its nice, but you cant make real plans unless watching how the board is moving real close. I mean real close too. The conductors extra board is the highest paying, of course. Hope that helps.
